Jimmy Brown
Brassneck:
This is a question rather than a memory.
Am I right in thinking that Jimmy Brown was the youngest ever player to play for the first team, aged just 15?

I have always understood that to be the case.
dave shelley:
Pretty sure this is correct. I was there at his debut, lost 2-1 to Bolton on a night when Docherty dropped Charlie Aitken. I know he was dropped and not injured as he told me, he was sat in the seat behind me.

Giving your age away there Dave.
I actually saw him play myself, just after his debut. It was against Hull and we came back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. Can't remember anything about it though sadly.

He was also our youngest captain.
